Binchotan charcoal products by Rikumo - made in Japan
Binchotan charcoal brings along a variety of benefits. It is known for its best quality for purifying water, enhancing blood circulation, capturing moisture and odors from the air and for stimulating healthy soil in the garden. Thus the products of Rikumo have some great beneficial characteristics. For instance the binchotan charcoal is blended into the bristle of the toothbrush, which helps giving off negative ions, deodorizing and removing plaque thus preventing bad breath and harmful bacteria growth. We like the great idea of using charcoal for healthy beneficial reasons, which is rather an unusual ingredient for these type of products. Pictures by Simon Freund.
